Sun Lijuan was uneasy. Has Sun Chan been speaking ill of me behind my back? And I’ve met Sun Chan so soon? How exasperating!
She forced a smile at Zhao Jieyun and said, "Auntie, what are you talking about? I don’t understand."
Zhao Jieyun said, "I just spoke with Sun Chan. She told me many things."
One sentence made Sun Lijuan’s heart plunge into an icy abyss. She expected that meeting Sun Chan would cause trouble, but she hadn’t anticipated it would happen so fast! Shouldn’t my job placement be sorted out first? And now, I’m just left here? No one’s looking out for me?
At that moment, the other female soldiers hastily excused themselves and left.
The dormitory was now left with only Zhao Jieyun and Sun Lijuan.
After everyone had left, Zhao Jieyun, too lazy for pretense, said indifferently, "I don’t want to waste words with you. Pack your bags and hurry back to the village. Don’t let your school classes back up, I can’t help you with your issues."
Sun Lijuan clenched her hands tightly. She knew it had to be that schemer who tattled!
How could she reverse the situation? She thought for a moment, then forced a bitter smile, "Even if I did something to hurt her, you wouldn’t deny me a job assignment, right? How can you go back on your word? Auntie, you’re not just some ordinary family!"
"You almost sold my daughter out, ruining her whole life, and coveted her fiancé, and yet you have the nerve to ask me to be nice to you?" Zhao Jieyun could barely contain her internal fury, "Pack your things and go! Don’t force me to say something even harsher!"
Sun Lijuan felt a hundredfold unwillingness. How could Zhao Jieyun be like this—so completely without mercy!
Her head bowed, tears streamed down quietly, "Auntie, whatever happened, it was all my mother’s doing. I just listened to her! I couldn’t help those evil things! You’re blaming everything on me, and it’s really unjust!"
"Go on, tell me what you really want. I’m not like other women; I don’t enjoy this pretense. Speak your true intentions. Forget about the job; for the promises Gu Junming made, perhaps you should rely on him." Zhao Jieyun saw Sun Lijuan’s face turn pale. She wasn’t crying anymore, but there was still sniffing, which only made Zhao Jieyun more annoyed.
"Since you’re silent, I’ll assume you have nothing to say. Pack up and leave here."
Sun Lijuan gritted her teeth and, after a while, said, "If you won’t arrange a job for me, at least introduce me to someone. I...I’d like to find someone in the army; that should be easy for you. If Sun Chan might be your daughter, I should be her sister, that’s not too much to ask, right? This way, my mother won’t have issues in the future either."
Zhao Jieyun’s heart ached with anger. Was this a threat?
And then Sun Lijuan added, "I want someone of at least company level. If the rank is too low, I can’t move with the troops."
Zhao Jieyun could no longer hold back, "You’re a grown woman, have a little self-respect, will you? You still want me to find you a partner of company level or higher? You’ve had a miscarriage and can’t have children; what do you think will happen if I tell people? Do you think anyone would want you?"
Although it’s not the old society nowadays, not everyone can accept a woman losing her virginity before marriage, especially one who can’t bear children, and yet you brazenly want to marry a leader!
